(December 10, 1830 - May 15, 1886)was an American poet who was born in Amherst, Massachusettsto a successful family with strong community ties. After she studied at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she spent a short time at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's house in Amherst. Only two of her poems were published in her lifetime. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends. After her death, her younger sister Lavinia found hundreds of poems Dickinson had written; got them published, and Emily Dickinson's reputation grew from there, making her one of literature's most renowned poets.
